Description

As a Field Officer, you will be the trusted link between our project and the farmers we serve. Working closely with smallholder communities in the Mount Kenya region, your role is to ensure that our vision of ecosystem restoration becomes reality on the ground—one plot, one farmer, one seedling at a time.

You’ll be the face of the project in the field, responsible for enrolling farmers, providing regular support, and ensuring the successful delivery of agroforestry activities at the grassroots level. You’ll work hand-in-hand with agronomists, nursery teams, and monitoring staff to make sure farmers receive the guidance, inputs, and follow-up they need to succeed.

This is a highly practical, people-focused role that demands empathy, accountability, and a deep connection to the land.

In this role, you will:

  •  Register and onboard farmers into the agroforestry project, ensuring proper documentation and GPS mapping of their plots
  •  Act as the main point of contact for a defined group of farmers, offering regular support, follow-up visits, and seasonal check-ins
  •  Coordinate seedling distribution and track planting progress, survival rates, and farmer feedback
  •  Assist with field demonstrations, farmer group trainings, and community meetings—translating technical content into simple, actionable advice
  •  Support data collection activities in collaboration with the monitoring team (e.g. planting data, household surveys, verification photos)
  •  Identify risks and challenges early—from pest outbreaks to farmer drop-off—and communicate these clearly to your supervisor
  •  Build lasting relationships with community leaders, cooperative heads, and farmer groups to promote trust, transparency, and participation

Requirements

You are:

  • A motivated and trustworthy individual with strong roots in rural communities
  • Passionate about nature restoration, climate resilience, and sustainable farming
  • Energized by spending your days in the field—walking plots, talking to farmers, and solving practical problems
  • Able to work independently and take initiative, while staying in close coordination with your team
  • Comfortable with a fast-moving project environment and flexible schedules

You bring:

  • A certificate, diploma, or relevant experience in agriculture, rural development, forestry, or environmental science
  • Prior experience working with smallholder farmers, preferably in rural Kenya
  • Excellent interpersonal skills—able to connect easily, listen well, and explain clearly
  • Basic understanding of agroforestry, soil health, or climate-smart agriculture (training will be provided)
  • Familiarity with smartphones and digital tools for data collection (e.g. KoboToolbox, ODK, SurveyCTO)
  • Willingness to ride a motorbike and travel daily in remote areas (motorbike license a strong plus)
  • Fluency in English and relevant local languages (e.g. Kikuyu, Meru, or Kiswahili)
